Jonathan Ritchey is a serial inventor and visionary committed to the environment. It was this passion
that led him to experiment with many innovative technologies over the past 20
years resulting in more than a dozen patents. His most recent invention the
Variable Input Electrical Generator, or VIEG, led to the founding of Exro
technologies. A career driven by his
particular interests began in food technology and production before shifting to
the investment industry. It was his role in developing the Earth Ship Geodome
design, a self-sustaining, off-grid home, that allowed his interest in clean
technology to prosper. From 1992 to 2008
Jonathan tackled the complexities of water purification for human consumption.
These efforts led to the development of the WaterMill™ and the founding of
Element Four. As CTO, Jonathan has worked to perfect technologies that extract
high quality potable water from atmospheric air for residential and commercial
applications. To increase clean drinking water in developing nations, Jonathan
also founded the non-profit Freedom Water International.As a result of the
planet’s pressing need for clean energy, Jonathan has turned his attention to
the critical, but highly inefficient role generators play in the renewable
energy industry. Jonathan formulated the concept of a variable input generator
for over a decade before founding Exro technologies in 2005 to accelerate the
development of the VIEG for the global market.

Jeane Manning received a
  B.A. in Sociology from the University of Idaho and has been involved in the
  Free Energy movement as a journalist since 1981. She has been a speaker at
  energy conferences for decades, including venues in Canada, United States,
  Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Jeane has authored many books, including The
  Coming Energy Revolution (Avery, NY, 1996); and Energie (Omega Verlag 2000);
  and co-authored The Granite Man and the Butterfly; Angels Don’t Play This
  HAARP, and her latest book -- Breakthrough Power. Jeane has been
  Atlantis Rising magazine’s “Tracking the News of the Coming Energy Revolution”
columnist for 8 years. http://BreakthroughPower.net and http://ChangingPower.net


Presentation: Jeane’s talk on The Hidden Past
& Magnetic Future will be an overview of a history that begins with the
  first magnetic motor, invented by Peter Peregrinus in 1269, and leaps to the
  19th and 20th centuries -- a time when nonconventional energy technologies were
  labeled “impossible free energy”—and on to today. This year the pace of
  breakthroughs is accelerating. The sampling of inventions discussed and shown
  via Powerpoint slides includes magnetic motor/generators ranging from Hans
  Coler’s to Osamu Ide’s; and may also include Stanley Meyer’s Water Fuel Cell,
  the Clem engine, Floyd Sweet’s solid-state energy converter, and newer
  discoveries. Jeane will also discuss breakthroughs in understanding how the
  technologies work, and wrap up with how clean energy abundance can transform
  our world if enough people get involved

Advisor with non-profit City Green Solutions, helps homeowners learn how to save
energy at home and to access incentives for their energy saving upgrades. Arno
likes to practice what he preaches, and has personally renovated and built
additions to the four homes that his family has lived in over the past 20 years.
Arno is an electro-technical engineer, and has completed an MBA at the
University of Stellenbosch in South Africa and a program in International
Utility Management with Stanford University. He has worked on numerous projects
for ESKOM, the major energy producer and distributer throughout Africa, and has
completed more than 300 residential energy evaluations in the South and Central
Okanagan. He loves to share his expertise with other homeowners, and believes
that it is essential for everyone to use energy in a smarter and more
sustainable way.
